I've been a member for a while now but think i've found my dream tent.  Ive tried single skin walkers tents, small light domes and tunnels, cabannon frame and pyramid.  This has to be the daddy of all tents.  Or is it just me??

Imagine sitting around wood burner when it turns a bit chilly at night, looking out at the stars.  Hot water on tap with water tank side of stove. Ahh! :)

What about the backpacking version here ? But you have to build your own fire in the tent

Oh darn it!    The link's not working. Check out item 270173678597 on ebay.

Dont know wat the fuss is about. This is a standard Scouting Mess tent and we already have one with a small smokeless burner. Ok ours has been adapted by one of our parents who happens to make MOD tents but it can be done.

There you go - now you can get your tent and even have it made as a "bespoke" item in the UK and probably for a much more sensible price -  What could be better?

Ray Mears got quite keen on Teepees with fire boxes in them at one stage. They're quite a popular item in Scandinavia but then they tend to have more available timber around. There's not too much spare timber on the average UK campsite

Amazing prices aren't they -  - I've yet to see anyone using one in this Country

Just remembered - There a Tipi and a Yurt  at the Sustainability Centre and you can rent them out. I can't see the Centre paying out that sort of money though. They haven't even got enough to mend their lawnmower
